One of my closest friends was one of the children evacuated to the US because of the blitz. She did not see her parents again for four years. And I'm reminded by this beautifully written summary off The Splendid and the Vile that the Sadler's Wells Ballet, now the Royal Ballet, kept on dancing as the bombs fell, in defiance of the enemy they called Jerry. Not sure Larson is right about Virginia Woolf, many factors caused her suicide. I think I need to read this book.
